“Is being bored a good enough reason to leave my job?” Boredom at work isn’t talked about enough, but we get this question all the time! Becoming apathetic towards work and settling into a comfortable role can happen before we even realize something is wrong! But if the goal is meaningful work, this can be a dangerous place to be. It’s much harder to leave a comfortable job than one that is obviously burning you out.

That’s where Lisa found herself Her job came with a lot of autonomy and flexibility, but she was extremely bored, isolated and wasn’t receiving any feedback. If you’re feeling bored at work, or like you’re settling in a job that doesn’t fulfill you, Lisa’s story will not only inspire you to make a change but show you how you can!
